Abstract

Evaluating means in a printer controller detects whether a command data stream for printing image data to a printer contains a specific data sequence. When the specific data sequence, such as the data sequence of a real-time command, is present in the command data stream, division means generates a plurality of command data stream segments not containing the specific data sequence and printing image data identical to the image data of the original data stream; sending means then sends the plurality of command data stream segments to the printer.
